  • Non living parts of an organism’s environment
    abiotic factors
  • What is the process through which the plants lose water to the air?
    transpiration
  • All the living organisms that inhabit an environment
    biotic factors
  • True or False. The role of photosynthesis in Carbon-oxygen cycle is when plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere and use it to create glucose.
    true
  • What is immigration?
    organisms coming into the area from another area
  • The maximum population an environment can hold.
    carrying capacity
  • This is an image of a what type of graph
    Logistic
  • Two organisms produce an offspring (genetic make up of both parents)
    sexually reproduce
  • It extends from high in the atmosphere to the bottom of the oceans.
    Biosphere
  • What is the correct order of classification starting with Kingdom and ending with species?
    Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
  • give an example of a density-independent factor
    fire, drought, natural disaster, etc.
  • . What is the process where water is converted into water vapor and is the first step in the Water Cycle?
    Evaporation
  • Population A has 10 ducks in a 10 acre pond. Population B has 200 ducks in a 100 acre pond. Which population is at the most risk for predation.
    Population B. 2 ducks for each acre.
  • Group of organisms, all of the same species, live in the same area at the same time
    population
  • Where does the energy that powers the water cycle come from?
    the sun
  • This is an example of what type of graph
    exponential
  • An organism divides and produces an exact copy of itself
    asexually
  • ( T / F ) When population density is high, disease is transmitted easily from one individual to another
    True
  • Air currents, temperature, moisture, light, and soil are....
    abiotic factors
  • The number of organisms per unit area is called
    Population denisity
  • True or False. A flash flood will impact a larger population more than a smaller population.
    False
  • What is Emmigration?
    organismism leaving an area to go to another area
  • It is made up of interacting populations in a biological community and the community’s abiotic factors
    ecosystem
  • The process where N2 molecules in the air break apart and combine with other atoms to form ammonia.
    Nitrogen Fixation or ammonification
  • What is the process where bacteria convert nitrogen to ammonium ions?
    nitrogen fixation or ammonification
  • It is the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment
